Dinoflagellates are important primary producers known to form Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs). In water, nutrient availability, pH, salinity and anthropogenic contamination constitute chemical stressors for them. The emergence of OMICs approaches propelled our understanding of dinoflagellates'...

The increase of agricultural nitrogen (N) inputs since the 1960s is a key driver in surface- and groundwater nitrate pollution. The water abstracted from these sources can input substantial amounts of reactive nitrogen (N_Irrig) if used for crop irrigation. This input is often not included in N...

Calcium peroxide (CP) is an oxidizing agent that can gradually release hydrogen peroxide (HP) to achieve selective killing of cyanobacteria in water blooms, and reduce the phosphorus content in the water column. Despite the potential of CP for use in cyanobacterial water bloom disposal, there is a...

Free-living Symbiodinium, which forms symbiotic relationships with many marine invertebrates, plays an important role in the vast ocean. Nutrient levels have been shown to significantly impact microbial community structure and regulate algal communities. In this study, the bacterial community...

Soil contamination by microplastics (MPs) has gained widespread attention, whose fate may be influenced by land use types. The effects of land use types and the intensity of human activities on the distribution and sources of soil MPs at the watershed scale are unclear. In this study, 62 surface...

Converting solid wastes into new materials for wastewater decontamination is a feasible "one stone, three birds" strategy to achieve sustainable value-added utilization of resources and minimize waste emissions, but significant challenges remain. In response to this, we proposed an efficient...

Objective: The influence mechanism of chemical interaction between trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and loess on its permeability was studied to provide reference for preventing groundwater pollution by TCA seepage. Method: The changes of pore distribution, porosity and average pore size of loess from...

After the wide oil spill reached the northeast of Brazil, the resurgence of oil was recorded and to evaluate this oil in detail, two samples collected in the state of Pernambuco in 2019 and 2021 were submitted to multiple analytical techniques. For both, we have found similar saturated biomarkers...

Despite international recognition as an important coastal wetland, Tunis Lagoon is still subjected to anthropogenic pressures. This article provides valuable data on the spatio-temporal distribution, toxicity, and origins of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Tunis Lagoon complex. PAHs' ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) are persistent organic pollutants and pose high risk in aquatic environment. The utilization of biochar is a strategy for PAHs-contaminated remediation but is challenging due to the adsorption saturation and reoccurrence of PAHs desorbed back into water. In...
